Adding a CRO link to a staff profile

Transcription

1 Adding a CRO link to a staff profile CRO (CSU Research Output) is an open access digital archive which includes a variety of research publications produced by CSU academics. Open access means the works held within are freely accessible (no login required) and can be found by anyone using Internet search engines such as Google. Adding a CRO link to a staff profile provides viewers with quick and easy access to that person s published works. The screenshot below shows a staff profile page before the CRO link has been added.

6 Note: Type _nocache at the end of the URL to see the latest changes to the page. _nocache tells the browser to get the latest copy of the page instead of using the cached copy. Caching is the process of web pages (and associated files eg images) being downloaded and saved to your computer so they are immediately available instead of having to be downloaded each and every time you view the page. Caching significantly reduces page load time. Our web pages are re-cached every 3 hours The screenshot below shows a staff profile with a View Publications on CRO link. 17) Logout of the EES by clicking the Current User icon (top right hand corner) and then Logout. This will release all of your locks. Close the browser if no further edits are required Note: Exit Edit Mode closes the editing interface and reloads the current page but it does not log you out. If you use Exit Edit Mode you will still be logged into the EES. The Logout option exits the EES and then logs you out before reloading the current page. When you exit or log out of the EES, all locks on the current asset are released automatically Page 6 of 6
